Evolution—It Holds Back Science!

Genes are units of heredity. They pass along genetic information to the next generation. And genes code for proteins in our bodies. But some genes, known as “pseudogenes,” don’t code for proteins. Now, they were considered “junk DNA”; that is, leftovers of our supposed evolutionary past … and with no function. These pseudogenes were largely neglected in research because of this belief.

But you don’t hear the phrase “junk DNA” much from evolutionists anymore. You know why? Because it turns out you don’t just need genes to code for proteins. You also need “regulation genes.” And guess what many pseudogenes do? You guessed it! They regulate.
